Shish was our guide and he was amazing

Shish was our guide and he was amazing. We are from Australia and Shish made our Tokyo day trip an awesome experience. He was very knowledgeable and patient as our guide - we had a small group and he made everyone feel well-included and engaged. A wonderful day!
Thank you Shish.

Jiro is an amazing guide

Jiro took the time to teach us Japanese culture as we walked through the shrine. We learned so much about Tokyo and took in important sites. He is an amazing guide.

Japan 🇯🇵 Lucky 🍀 🎉 birthday 🎂 2025

My sister and I had the pleasure of having Aki as our personal tour guide (with 4 other people). We were very fortunate to have had such a lovely experience walking around Tokyo city through the imperial palace gardens, ginza shopping district, harujuku district, shinbuya crossing and more. What a delightful and insightful perspective from a local. Some highlights made my day even more special- celebrating my birthday with a special treat at Haru sushi restaurant. Highly recommend.

Jiro was amazing

Jiro was amazing, he had a great sense of humour and showed us a lot of great stalls, temples, shrines etc. The food tastings were awesome and very different to what we are used too.

First Class walking (and subway) tour

Aki was a fantastic guide and made our day really enjoyable. We were a small group of 6 people and we learned so much about Tokyo and some of the top places to visit in the City. We also learned how to buy tickets and navigate the subway which was really helpful. Lunch at Kura was great fun and inexpensive and we had plenty of time to take in each of the sights we visited. A great mix of parks, temples and shopping areas and a great way to spend our first day in Tokyo. We now have the confidence to explore more on our own. Thank you Aki.

Thank you for sharing your experience, William. It’s fantastic that you enjoyed your first day in Tokyo with Aki. Tourist Japan guides provide both expert insights and practical tips, from using public transport to exploring the city’s top sights. It’s especially great that the tour with Aki empowered you to continue discovering Tokyo independently, which is exactly the aim of our tours.

Good walking tour of Tokyo

Jiro took us all around Tokyo sharing local knowledge, it's impossible to see all of Tokyo in one day but we covered a lot of ground. We endee it with the Shibuya scramble which was awesome

Our guide was understanding and helpful in explaining everything.
We hope to see Jori again before we leave. As we say in our Gaelic language

Jiro was a fantastic guide! It was a lot of fun for us exploring the fish Market and the shrine and temple.
It was nice having Aki as well, as he is a wonderful person.

Thank you for sharing your experience, Kyle. It’s wonderful that Jiro made your visit to the fish market, shrine, and temple so enjoyable, and that Aki added to the day. Both guides bring deep local knowledge and expertise, and we’d be delighted to welcome you on another tour with them.

Best of Tokyo in a day

This was a full day of Tokyo highlights, places that are iconic. Our guide Jiro managed to guide our small group thru Temples, Shrines, Cool spots, great view points, Imperial gardens( no benches😂)packed subways, conveyor belt sushi 😀 and ending by dashing across Shibuya crossing . This is a long day. Jiro did an awesome job, This tour could easily be split into two days. Can not commend our guide Jiro enough for his patience with some of the group, who lagged behind due to different issues. Everyone was very understanding and a good time was had by all. This tour was worth it.

Thank you, Mark. It's great you appreciated Jiro's local insights! On very rare occasions, often due to cancellations, a tour may have just one guest, providing a uniquely personal experience. We're glad you enjoyed your experience and hope to see you on another one of our tours soon!

Shish was amazing!

Shish was amazing!! He did not only provided all the historic information we need as tourists, but also provided more “common” facts, which have been helpful during all of our stay in Japan. If you have a chance, you should book him!

Amazing Tokyo Tour with Shish!

My husband and I had an amazing walking tour of Tokyo, all thanks to our wonderful guide, Shish. This is our first time in Japan and only our second day here, and Shish set the bar very high for the rest of our tours. He was incredibly knowledgeable, personable, and charismatic. Communication was perfect and appreciated. We are only sad that we dont have Shish for our guide for the rest of our time here in Japan. Thank you for an unforgettable experience!
